ESMO 2014: Young Oncologists Track

The Young Oncologist (YO) Track Sessions are specially designed by young oncologists for young oncologists and initiated by the
ESMO Young Oncologist Committee. The sessions are educational and cover topics which are highly relevant to YOs in their daily practice and/or research activities.

YO Track sessions are always very popular and well attended, and for good reasons: not only do attendees acquire a deeper knowledge on key aspects, but the sessions also provide attendees with a platform for networking with other oncology professionals.

When available, click on the presentation titles to view the presentations / webcasts on OncologyPRO (Sign in required: access is available to ESMO members and ESMO 2014 attendees where the registration fee included webcast access)

Young Oncologists Sessions

YO Masterclass

The YO Masterclass, chaired by Raffaele Califano (UK ) and Leticia De Mattos-Arruda (ES) was this year organised in collaboration with the European Association for Cancer Research, and featured four speakers from across Europe discussing exciting areas where basic science is being integrated into clinical research.

Vesalius Talk

Paving your own path to success

This year’s Vesalius Talk gave YOs the opportunity to learn about how KOLs carved their own paths to success, and receive frank advice from experts with the aim of inspiring them to make the right professional decisions. The Vesalius Talk is a rare opportunity for a direct discussion between young oncologists and key opinion leaders in the field of medical oncology.

YO Breakfast sessions

Practical, personal and professional development tips for young oncologists – educational sessions for the early birds! The breakfast sessions not only offered a full Spanish breakfast, but are proven to be extremely useful for delegates to learn about tried and tested approaches to developing skills that they can adopt for improving their own academic careers. Sessions are delivered in a relaxed and friendly environment with the opportunity to asks questions and enter in to discussion.

YO Special Session

The fellowship session this year featured presentations by two previous ESMO fellows, who were chosen from a competition open to recent fellowship recipients. Some practical advise from a former fellow, YOC member Leticia De Matos-Arruda (ES), were added to the detailed overview of available ESMO Fellowship.
